Wishlist / Feature Requests / ListenBrainz submission support

« on: Yesterday at 01:54:11 PM »

ListenBrainz is a music scrobbling site, much like Last.fm, but open-source and tightly integrated with its sister project MusicBrainz. I hacked together my own little tool to submit using the now playing log file feature, but native support would be great to see, and probably more reliable.

Its API is pretty simple, at the very least you just send a 'single' event with as much metadata as you can muster (or even exact MBIDs if the file tags have them) after listening to a track. Support for the 'playing_now' event and the ability to love/hate tracks would be also good to see.

I have the media library options for double/click enter set to play and start with selected (see attachment), unless I missed something. It works as expected for the local libraries, but not for CDs, it always plays only the selected track.

I also just noticed there IS an eject button of the bottom of the library, it's just moved to the right; I completely missed it. But neither it nor the context menu entry seem to work reliably either... Unfortunately, I'm not sure why.

The number of us who still use CDs on PC is no doubt vanishingly small nowadays, I don't blame you for investing time elsewhere At least most of the issues have workarounds.

Preview Build Discussion / CD related feedback

First off, thanks for working on WACUP, Winamp is excellent and it's great to see its legacy be maintained. It works almost flawlessly for me, but I have noticed a few things when playing Audio CDs. I'm using the 1.99.54.24960 32-bit build.

• Trying to play the CD from the left-hand side of the Media Library, via double-clicking or using the context menu items, only ever seems to work once. Once a CD is played via these methods, the only way to get them to work again seems to be restarting WACUP. Double-clicking seems flaky on Winamp 5.666, so there might be some reason behind it, but the context menu always worked there.
• Double-clicking/pressing Enter on a single track replaces the queue with just that track and plays it; on 5.666 it replaced the queue with the whole CD and started playing from the selected track, like with the local library.
• Ejecting a CD while on the CD page just causes the list to go blank; presumably, it should go to the "no disc is present" screen.
• If you insert a CD while on the Audio CD page. WACUP does not correctly refresh and list it, you have to navigate away and back to the CD. If the list was blank due to the above, it will show "no disc is present", and if it was already on that screen it stays there. 5.666 handles ejections and insertions properly.

There's also a couple of lesser things I may as well add while I'm here:

• 5.666 has an eject icon in the left list of the Media Library, and eject button on the bottom of the CD view. WACUP only has the context menu item.
• WACUP seems to pull CD album art from MusicBrainz; there's a "view artwork" button in the CD view, but doesn't seem associate it with track metadata, so it doesn't show in the Album Art window etc.
